Bill Shaheen resigned today as national co-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to the Associated Press.
Shaheen, the husband of former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, had come under fire for comments he made earlier in the week about Barack Obama’s teenage drug use.
Shaheen reportedly raised the issue of Obama’s drug use during an interview with the Washington Post, saying that Democrats should be wary of nominating him because his drug use could make it difficult for him to win the presidency.
Clinton apologized to Obama today as they waited to fly to Iowa for a debate.

Man, Hillary must have been as ticked at Bill Shaheen’s comments about Barak Obama’s alleged teen age drug use as she was at her hubby’s when he came out and said he’d opposed the Iraq war, a war Hillary wholeheartedly supported and still won’t admit was a mistake, from the outset.
Poor Hillary, America’s once seemingly invincible version of Eva Peron, a woman destined to be president just because her husband was, is seeing the whole house of cards swing in an increasingly gusty breeze.
Hil, learn a lesson from Ted Kennedy. Stay in New York and make your mark in the Senate.
You know you’re in trouble when a lifelong, die hard Democrat like me feels he can’t trust you as far as he can throw you.
By the way, did you think to ask Barak if HE inhaled?
